Sound On Sight Radio #193: Green Zone / Repulsion

Paul Greengrass, director of United 93 and the last two Bourne thrillers, returned this past week with his long-gestating (and expensive) passion project Green Zone, which reunited him with Bourne star Matt Damon but transplants the action to Iraq in 2003, in the aftermath of “shock and awe.” Simon and returning guest Eduardo Lucatero will let you know if he’s struck thriller gold again. This week also marks the beginning of our Directors’ Spotlight on Roman Polanski, whose new thriller The Ghost Writer has begun making the rounds, by taking a look at his 1965 chiller Repulsion. Finally, for all the budding filmmakers lurking in the audience, we’ll also be delving into the creative process itself by discussing Eduardo’s new film project, Preludio, which recently wrapped in Mexico.
